Cavetown has become increasingly popular on YouTube from a combination of both these original songs and covers that he has produced and uploaded. This has allowed him to perform gigs in the UK both locally and nationally, and also in other parts of the world such as California, USA.
Another One Of Those Days
Cavetown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought the fresh air would pick me up
Up up and away from the ground
But there's no talking dog up here
Blowing up balloons with my dear
Hoped maybe I'd see a familiar face on my way
Passed by some cannabis seeds, it all smells exactly the same
I guess it's just another one of
those days when I'm missing everything
Carousel round and round
Like a kid's toy you wind me up
And I've got nothing to say
So you just throw me in the dump truck
Hoping round the corner I'll see her
Passed that kid from chemistry who made fun of my name
He didn't look very happy, I guess we all turn out the same
I saw a girl in my dreams, she kissed me on the face
I guess it's just another one of
those days when I'm missing everything
When she shows up she can sit on my shoulders
Cause I'm so strong, I wish
Piggy back ride to the hill, then we roll down
Feeling like kids for the rest of our lives
Hoping in the morning I'll meet her
But for now I'll just be lonely, and my arms will feel so bare
Dreaming ‘bout her body round me, with my fingers in her hair
It might be so easy, but I am just too scared
Cause I saw a girl in my dreams, but she doesn't like me
The song "Another One of Those Days" by Cavetown is a melancholic yet reflective song that talks about missing a lot of things in life. The lyrics revolve around the singer cycling aimlessly around town, hoping to find solace in the fresh air. However, he realizes that his problems won't go away, even if he tries to escape them. The lyrics "thought the fresh air would pick me up, up, and away from the ground, but there's no talking dog up here" symbolize a desire to escape troubles in life, but that's not possible. The song also talks about seeing dreams and missing someone badly, but the singer can't seem to remember specific details about them. The lyrics "I saw a girl in my dreams, but I don't remember her name" signifies how vague and unclear dreams can be. The song captures the essence of feeling lost and lonely in life and how sometimes even the most seemingly insignificant moments can make us feel like everything is slipping away.
Cavetown's "Another One of Those Days" has a unique sound and lyrics that have resonated with fans around the world. The song has gained popularity for its simple melody and relatable lyrics that touch a chord with anyone feeling lost or disconnected. The song also talks about the mundanity of life and how sometimes we are stuck in a carousel of going round and round, with nothing to say. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, where the singer dreams of meeting someone in the future who can make him feel alive again. The song is a beautiful commentary on the human experience and how sometimes all we need is a little hope to keep going.

Cycling down town
I'm riding my bike around the city
Thought the fresh air would pick me up
I was hoping the fresh air would make me feel better
Up up and away from the ground
Trying to escape the feeling of being stuck
But there's no talking dog up here
There's no magical solution to my problems
Blowing up balloons with my dear
Trying to have fun despite feeling down
Hoped maybe I'd see a familiar face on my way
I was hoping to run into someone I know
Passed by some cannabis seeds, it all smells exactly the same
I saw some weed on my journey, everything feels mundane
I saw a girl in my dreams but I don't remember her name
I had a dream about a girl, but I can't recall her name
I guess it's just another one of those days when I'm missing everything
I'm having one of those days where everything feels off
Carousel round and round
My thoughts are circling and repeating
Like a kid's toy you wind me up
Feeling robotic and repetitive
And I've got nothing to say
Feeling empty and unable to communicate
So you just throw me in the dump truck
Feeling discarded and unwanted
Passed that kid from chemistry who made fun of my name
I saw someone who used to bully me for my name
He didn't look very happy, I guess we all turn out the same
The bully didn't seem happy, maybe we all have our problems
I saw a girl in my dreams, she kissed me on the face
I dreamt of a girl who showed me affection
When she shows up she can sit on my shoulders
If I find someone I care about, I'll support them
Cause I'm so strong, I wish
I wish I had the strength to hold someone up
Piggy back ride to the hill, then we roll down
Having a carefree moment with someone special
Feeling like kids for the rest of our lives
Wanting to hold onto innocence and joy forever
Hoping in the morning I'll meet her
I'm hoping to find someone to connect with
But for now I'll just be lonely, and my arms will feel so bare
For now, I'll be alone and miss the feeling of companionship
Dreaming ‘bout her body round me, with my fingers in her hair
Dreaming about feeling close to someone I care about
It might be so easy, but I am just too scared
Making a connection might be simple, but I'm too afraid to try
Cause I saw a girl in my dreams, but she doesn't like me
The dream girl I wish for may not exist or may not reciprocate my feelings

cycling down town
thought the fresh air would pick me up
up up and away
from the ground
but there’s no talking dog up here
blowing up balloons with my ideas
perhaps maybe id see a familiar face on my way
passed by some cannabis seeds
it all smells exactly the same
i saw a girl in my dreams but i don’t remember her name
i guess it’s just another one of those days
when im missing everything
carousel, round and round
like a kids toy you light me up
and ive got nothing to say
so you just throw me in the dump truck
hoping round the corner ill see her
passed that kid from chemistry
who made fun of my name
he didn’t look very happy
i guess we all turn out the same
i saw a girl in my dreams
she kissed me on the face
i guess it’s just another one of those days
when im missing everything
she showed up
she came and sat on my shoulders
cus im so strong
piggy back ride to the hill
then we rolled down
feeling like kids for the rest of our lives
hoping in the morning ill see her
but for now ill just be lonely
and my arms will feel so bare
dreaming about your body round me
with my fingers in her hair
it might be so easy
but im just too scared
cus i saw a girl in my dreams
but she doesn’t like me
i saw a girl in my dreams ....

The words right out of my mouth

Other times it feels like someone's trying to strangle mine.

Every Cavetown song has a deeper meaning, but means something different to everyone who cares to listen. Every time I listen to one of their songs it just reminds me of how unappreciated their songs are. How many times to you go out in public and someone is talking about cavetown? The only song that is 'appreciated' is This is Home because of the remix used for the Cut my Hair meme. Seriously, w3 need more cavetown fans.
